An updated guide to ancient symbols and placements for balance, positivity and wealth
Looking for the perfect spot to place a Shri Yantra in your home? Or wondering if it’s safe to keep a Vastu Yantra in your living room? Need simple rituals for activating your yantras? Or can’t understand how many yantras can you keep at home? Well, you’re in the right place for all of the above.
Welcome to the ancient practice of Vastu Shastra that links our physical spaces to cosmic harmony. Whether you’re designing your home from ground zero or just need some peace and prosperity in the middle of a chaotic life, this blog is all about using yantras for energy balancing in your space.
Unveiling the Secrets of Vastu Yantras
Yantras are spiritual geometric designs that focus energy. Every yantra is associated with a specific god/goddess or planet in the cosmos and by using the appropriate yantra with the right intention and direction, the yantras will multiply harmony, abundance and dissolve negativity.
Think of it as tuning your home’s energy to a higher vibration, just like turning a dial to catch the best frequency on a radio.
Popular Vastu Yantras and Their Ideal Placement at Home
Shri Yantra Placement in Home: Northeast direction, puja room/meditation corner. Ensure it’s facing East.
Kubera Yantra: North direction, the wealth magnet.
Vastu Yantra: Above the main entrance door, to ward off all negative energy.
Guru Yantra or Planetary Yantras: Place in a direction based on your intention: focus or healing. Study or bedroom, depending on the planet.
Easy Do’s and Don’ts:
- Clean the space regularly, and place yantras on a wooden or metal altar.
- Activate each yantra by chanting the respective mantra.
- Don’t keep yantras on the floor or near the bathroom.
- Never place two conflicting yantras close together (e.g., Rahu and Jupiter).

How to Activate a Yantra: Simple Rituals
- Activation is a must for every yantra.
- Purify the yantra using Ganga jal or clean water.
- Light a diya in front of the yantra.

Vastu Remedies Using Yantras: Practical and Powerful
- Having money blocks? Try keeping a Shri Yantra in the northeast to clear stagnant money energy.

- Need clarity in career? Keep a Guru Yantra in your study to enhance focus and clarity.
Key point: Remedies work best when they are aligned to both your living space and personal astrology. That’s where a personal consultation helps.
Shri Yantra
The Sri (Shri) Yantra is one of the most powerful Vastu tools for wealth and prosperity. Connected to Goddess Lakshmi and the cosmic play of Shakti, the Sri Yantra is to be placed in the northeast corner of your home, ideally on a clean altar or puja shelf. It should always face east, and when it’s activated with the shloka/ mantra “Om Shreem Hreem…” and a lighted diya, it can unlock prosperity, clarity and personal growth. The Sri Yantra is like a life-uplifter—raise your energy and vibration by keeping it clean, with focus and worshipping it intentionally every day.
Guru Yantra
The Guru Yantra is also called the Brihaspati Yantra. It’s a yantra of spiritual wisdom, mental clarity and intellectual development. Ideal for your study room, reception area or the entrance room, this yantra is best placed in the northeast or east of your home, facing west. The morning sun rays energize the yantra and magnetize Guru energies in the form of auras. Meditate on the bindu (central point) of the yantra or chant the mantra “Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Guruve Namaha” while energizing it. You can expect better learning, inner guidance and divine assistance from the Guru lineage over a few months of regular activation. Clean it regularly and place it in natural light for best results.
